W_I_R_E H_A_N_D_S

































































It's been a while since I've posted anything,......




but if I thought anybody actually looked at this blog, that might upset me :(








I like sculpting hands-( see the a.t.g hand) Many pieces of wires were used in the completion of these two hands / arms. My friend's boyfriend-(Brian) comissioned me to make a wire form hand with an iPod charger weaved into it, so the hand will hold the iPod. ( Once it's finihsed I'll post pictures) I liked the way it looked so much I started working on one for me.




(That's why they're both right hands) The hand on the left mounted to the block is mine.


12/18- I finished both pieces! I was happy with how they both came out.-( so was Brian)

I mounted mine to the wall, it's reaching out over my couch!

Art in Mat Cutting




I've often referred matting & framing to artistic ketchup for pictures-( I like Ketchup a lot ) It makes good food better, and bad food tolerable, ...the same can be said for matting & framing for artwork. buti decided to make a piece of art from matting framing alone,....
Silk mats & all hand cut with reverse bevels a thin red fillet to accentuate the red in the matting
This is hanging in my bedroom.

Little Flower

A wire form flower. The petals were made from one piece of wire, as was the center. 10 really long pieces was used in the creation of this piece. The plastic base was a found doo-dad that luckily just fit the stem,...

FRAME TURTLE !!!



A turtle made out of scrap picture frame moulding. When you do picture framing, you generate a lot of scraps,...some would say waste,...but not me. Framers by nature are pack rats,..we like to save everything, squirreling away pieces of this and that. This little guy was a present for Kelly. He was finished in 2 days. I used stain markers to color the unfinished sides, which had an unexpected effect of making the coloring more real looking.

E_L_E_P_H_A_N_T !



This is one of my first pieces.
I had worked on a little at a time, here & there.
All and all, probably close to 30 hrs went into this piece.
I probably used a hundred pieces of wire, 4 different types of wire were used. I used grommets for eye sockets to give the skull some form, and coiled black wire to make the eyes.
I had thought about making a body for it,...I may still.

O-n-i-o-n



An onion.
It kinda looks like part of a whisk-( it's not :) it's about 14 pieces of wire. This was a fun to do, it took me about 15 minutes to do.

Baby Turtle


Apparently I like turtles. This was my first attempt at a turtle,...I decided to put it aside and make the larger Sea Turtle I posted a earlier instead,....but I had to finish the little guy! He is actually about a dozen pieces of wire! he has copper colored staples for eyes, about the size of a small pancake. Now that I think of it, Pancake would be a stellar name for a pet turtle!
